Monthly meetings encouraging active participation, are held the third Thursday of every odd-number month, at 6:30 p.m. in Lincoln Gallery. The public is also invited to attend our monthly meetings. Guest lectures/demonstrations offering timely art and business related information for artists.

Additional benefits:
  • Our online presence has magnified our visibility in the community.  Even with Covid restrictions our sales are up.  We are growing our audience – which benefits every exhibiting member in the Gallery.
  • Every member will have their artworks shown on our Lincoln Gallery website in the Virtual Gallery.  We feature exhibiting member’s artwork on social media.  This helps members increase their personal audience and the awareness of their work.
  • We are adding shows to our exhibition lineup – without decreasing the time that members can exhibit their own artwork in the Gallery.  For example, the Northern Colorado Regional Photography Show will only display the award-winning photographs.  All other accepted entries are online.  This preserves the opportunity for members to continue to show their work in the Gallery while the photography show is underway.  Photography is now not a category in the National or Regional Fine Art Shows.  The large mixed media/acrylic category will be separated into two categories which makes more sense for those media.  Photography will have two independent shows.
  • New Members Show.  All TVAL members are be eligible to exhibit artwork in this show.  This is not a juried show.  
  • Education!  We are increasing our workshop and class offerings.  
  • With the addition of a student membership the Art League will be encouraging up-and-coming artists.  Student members will have the opportunity to show a few of their artworks during one Night on the Town each year.  This will bring added excitement and awareness to Lincoln Gallery and our NOTT events as well as offer encouragement to artists of the future.
